That is an awesome background. Where did you get it?

Wow this is a wealth of information. Currently I have Ubuntu running off a persistent 32GB thumb drive. I have been reluctant to take the plunge on my Y400 and wiping win8 and installing Linux.

I think the relationship would be mutually beneficial. It is a shame that they couldn't work it out.

It has been a while since I posted. I finally got a new computer that I am going to install linux on this weekend. But for now here is my Mac desktop

I also have a Y400. I haven't gotten ubuntu to boot from USB drive yet. I will order a hard drive and try installing it to its own drive.

Here is my desktop for the new year. I recently installed an SSD in my mac mini

I have a mac mini as well. I will post my pics soon. Did you attempt to install Ubuntu on yours?

Here is my current setup. I finally added a SSD to my mac mini.

I use Virtual Box and Parallels. I prefer VBox. Parallels slows my computer to a crawl.

Some laptops will disable the audio device that is not in use. You can stream audio over the network but if you try and access the same file at the same time from 2 different computers you may run...

A virtual machine of some sort would be best. You should think about using one of the many media players available on linux. In my experience the performance isn't that great using Wine.

The ./folders are hidden folders. You need to turn on the option to "view hidden files"

I use Nero to Burn ISOs in windows and I never lower the burn speed. I have not run into any issues either.

They will reach a point when the returns from winning a law suit will out weigh the costs. The Battle with Samsung could last 10 years, and at the end of the day the only victors will be the lawyers!

This is a really great idea. I keep Ubuntu and Windows on separate drives and just have to remember to change the boot order when starting the computer. I used to have a partitioned drive, but I...

restart command is used to restart a particular process. If you want to restart the computer try


sudo reboot

What happens if you try:


sudo poweroff

What happens if you switch to a different icon theme. Does the trash stay full using a different icon theme? Then completely delete the OSX icon theme and reinstall it and switch back.

Yeah I wouldn't either. There is so much information on the internet for people willing to look for it.

I haven't heard of issues formatting large drives with NTFS. You should be able to format it as one whole partition if you wanted. NTFS partitions can be up to 16TB in size.

I have never played Dominion 3. It looks interesting. I will check it out.

I was looking to buy a SSD as well. I will look into this hybrid drive. It looks amazing at first glance. I was going to use this for OSX. I need to check to see whether it can fit on 8GB of space.

I have been looking for this as well. Thank you.

Viruses on Ubuntu are rare but the exits. The main thing you have to worry about is copying a windows virus from your ubuntu machine to your windows computer (if you have one). That is why I have a...

I agree here as well. I would use SSH to log into machine 1 and then use SCP to copy the files from machine 2 to machine 1 and then copy the files from machine 1 to your computer. Without SSH this...

I would use the entire USB drive for Ubuntu. Doing anything else would force you to create partitions on the drive and that may be more of a hassle than it is worth.
